Candy Girl Lespedeza 1 Live Flowering Shrub, 3 Gallon Pot, 15 Inches – Lespedeza ‘Candy Girl’

Candy Girl Lespedeza (Lespedeza ‘Candy Girl’) is an ornamental flowering shrub valued for its colorful pink blossoms and graceful, arching growth habit. Its pea-shaped flowers appear in clusters along slender stems, creating a soft, cascading floral display. The rosy-pink blooms contrast beautifully with the plant's green, trifoliate foliage and provide attractive color during the late summer and fall flowering season.

This perennial shrub develops a bushy, fountain-like form with flexible branches that arch outward as the growing season progresses. Its distinctive shape makes it suitable for mixed shrub borders, perennial gardens, cottage-style landscapes, slopes, and ornamental specimen plantings. The late-season flowers also provide visual interest when many spring and early-summer flowering shrubs have finished blooming.

Candy Girl Lespedeza performs best in full sun and well-drained soil. Once established, it can tolerate periods of dry weather, although moderate moisture supports healthy growth and flowering. Depending on climate, the plant may experience substantial winter dieback and produce new shoots during the following growing season.
